Space From Alcohol Programme

In England, there are over 600,000 dependent drinkers and of those – 83% are not seeking treatment. The Alcohol Programme encourages individuals to take a look at their relationship with alcohol, reflect on their drinking patterns, and determine if they want to reduce or eliminate alcohol using Motivational Enhancement Theory (MET) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques in a confidential, judgement-free space.   

This programme breaks down barriers for individuals who feel overwhelmed or uncomfortable taking the first step. Delivering a digital and on-demand programme allows individuals to access help whenever and wherever they want. 

The Alcohol programme is available in English.

Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET)

Motivational Enhancement Therapy focuses on improving an individual’s motivation to change with 6 basic steps called the FRAMES model:

  • Feedback: Deliver feedback on the risks and negative consequences of substance use.
  • Responsibility: Emphasise that the individual is responsible for making his or her own decision about his/her drug use.
  • Advice: Give straightforward advice on modifying drug use.
  • Menu of options: Give menus of options to choose from, fostering the participants involvement in decision-making.
  • Empathy: Be empathic, respectful, and non-judgmental. 
  • Self-efficacy: Express optimism that the individual can modify his or her substance use if they choose. Self-efficacy is one’s ability to produce a desired result or effect.

 

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

With CBT, participants will better understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and learn how to make positive changes - proven to reduce symptoms and better manage their mental health and wellbeing. Participants walk away with the tools to better manage their mental health now and in the future.
